In today’s fast-paced world, a well-organised handbag is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or enjoying a night out; having the right bag accessories can make all the difference.
At Louenhide, we believe that every woman deserves a handbag that is both functional and stylish. In this article, we’ll explore essential handbag accessories every woman should carry and tips on how to keep your bag beautifully organised.
What Should Every Woman Carry in Her Handbag?
When it comes to everyday essentials, a woman’s handbag often reflects her lifestyle and personality. While the items can vary from person to person, here’s a list of must-have accessories that can help you stay prepared:
1. Cardholder
A compact cardholder like the Cara Cardholder is essential for keeping your cards organised without the bulk of a wallet. With multiple slots for credit cards, ID, and even a little cash, it’s perfect for those days when you want to travel light. Plus, cardholders fit easily into any handbag or crossbody bag, ensuring you have easy access to your essentials.
2. Sunglasses Case
Protecting your eyes is crucial, especially during sunny days spent outdoors or driving in the car. But, protecting your eyewear is also important. The Skittle Sunglasses Case not only keeps your shades safe from scratches but also adds a pop of colour to your bag. With its stylish design and convenient clip, you can hook this onto your favourite bag and never have to worry about losing your sunglasses again!
3. Small Makeup Bag
A small makeup bag, such as the Jayne Makeup Bag, is a must for any woman on the go. This bag is perfect for holding your makeup essentials, from lipstick to foundation. With its compact size, it fits perfectly into your handbag, making touch-ups easy whenever you need them.
4. Handbag Pouch
If you often find yourself digging through your bag to find your essentials, consider adding a handbag pouch. This versatile accessory can hold everything from lip balm and a pen to snacks. Keeping a small pouch for your handbag helps streamline your everyday and ensures you have everything in one place. We love the Samantha Handbag with its bonus internal bag, which is perfect for this purpose!
5. Lip Balm and Other Essentials
Don’t forget about smaller essentials like lip balm, hand cream, and mints. These items can make a big difference in your daily comfort, especially living in Australia’s harsh weather and working in air-conditioned buildings.
6. Snacks
For those busy days when you might not have time for a proper meal or need a quick bite on the go, packing a few snacks in your handbag is a wise choice. Think muesli bars or dried fruit that can fit easily into a small pouch or compartment of your bag.
7. Pen and Notepad
Whether you need to jot down a quick note or your next great idea, carrying a pen and a small notepad can be incredibly handy. Choose a small A5 notebook that fits into your handbag compartments to save space.
8. Phone and Charger
In the digital age, your phone is an essential item. Don’t forget to include a portable charger or charging cable in your bag, so you can stay connected.
How Do I Organise My Handbag Contents?
Organisation is key when it comes to managing your handbag contents and various bag accessories. Here are some tips to help you keep everything in its place:
1. Use Bag Compartments Wisely
Many women’s bags come with built-in slip pockets or bag compartments designed to keep your items sorted. Take advantage of these spaces by allocating specific compartments for different items. For example, keep your makeup in one section and your cardholder and phone in another.
2. Invest in Small Pouches
Using a small pouch for your handbag can help further divide and conquer the chaos. Dedicate pouches for specific categories, such as cosmetics, electronics, and everyday essentials. This way, you can simply grab the pouch you need without rifling through your entire bag.
3. Prioritise Easy Access Items
Keep frequently used items, like your cardholder or lip balm, in easy-to-reach compartments. This way, you won’t waste time searching for them when you’re in a hurry.
4. Declutter Regularly
It’s easy for handbags to accumulate items over time. Set a reminder to declutter your bag regularly, removing anything you don’t need or use. This will keep your bag lighter, more organised and hopefully avoid any rogue lipstick messes at the bottom of your bag.
5. Choose the Right Everyday Bag
Selecting the right everyday bag can significantly impact your organisation. Look for bags with multiple pockets, a detachable pouch, and an overall functional design. The Manhattan Mini Tote Bag is a stylish option that checks all these boxes.
